Chapter 362 Submit or die (3)

Although Yao Mei was young, she had already been through a lot so she was much more mature than girls her age. Even though she was only fifteen years old, her mental age and way of thinking were not much different from that of a girl in her twenties or even older. It was well known that hard times made strong people, and since Yao Mei was a person with her own history, she was naturally not so weak as to have a breakdown just because she saw a person die. Still, she felt warm inside realizing that in reality, there was a person who cared about small details like this.

Xie Feng naturally had no idea that his small actions and thoughts had already been deciphered by the beauty beside him. Yet, he also didn't try to hide it or anything similar; Xie Feng simply didn't want the burdens of the girl beside him to increase any more than it already was.

Xie Feng's personality was really complicated from a certain point of view. His kindness mixed with indifference, his power, the way he acted, all of this was extremely attractive to any woman; even Yao Mei, who was tagged as an Ice Queen by the students of Beijing University, could feel her heart shuddering slightly... However, precisely because he was too indifferent and acted without ulterior motives, he usually did not notice the feelings or intentions that women had for him.

Some might say he was dense or dull, but Xie Feng didn't see it the same way. After all, it would be too arrogant to assume that all girls were interested in him just because of a small conversation or a small gesture.

As the two chatted, another group of suit-clad hooligans emerged from inside a corner. This group of five or six people held .05 type light machine guns in their hands, slightly surprising Xie Feng. After all, the .05 light machine gun was an extremely lethal weapon for human combat; although it possessed a rather small caliber compared to other machine guns, its stability, the recoil of the weapon when firing, and the speed at which it fired, made the .05 light machine gun one of the best weapons in the army.

The hooligans didn't even stop for a moment to say something and immediately began to shoot, completely ignoring the red-haired beauty. Although they felt it was a pity, they too had heard the sound of gunfire a moment ago so they knew that the two people in front of them were not friendly.

A metallic golden shower flew towards Xie Feng and Yao Mei with the intention of turning them both into sieves. Although these hooligans did not possess accuracy comparable to elite soldiers of the Chinese army who had received professional training, at a distance of twenty meters it was impossible to miss completely considering that they were shooting several bullets per second thanks to the gun in their hands.

However, unfortunately for these hooligans, the people they were facing were not two ordinary people; they were two monsters who were not scared of bullets.

"What!?"

"What is that!?"

"My God..."

...

The metal bullets that could turn a car into a sieve could not even get close to the body of the man or the beautiful woman before them as they stopped in mid-flight as if an invisible wall prevented them from continuing on their way.

The hooligans were so scared that their legs were shaking and they completely forgot to reload the gun in their hands. After firing a round of over a hundred bullets and not even being able to graze the enemy's clothing, they had lost all fighting spirit or intention to stop them.

Although they had had their share of fights against other gangs and even the police, this was the first time in their lives that they had witnessed a scene so strange as the one in front of their eyes!

Xie Feng simply gave them a cold stare, which caused the five or six hooligans to feel as if their souls were freezing in an icy hell.

...

The bullets that stopped two or three meters away without being able to advance fell to the ground, breaking the devilish silence that had formed after a round of gunfire. Xie Feng ignored them and went with Yao Mei deeper into the mansion.

However, he did not forget to suffocate those hooligans to death.

Each hooligan might have different motives for joining this gang. Some of them might even be parents and their sole breadwinners, but Xie Feng could show no mercy to people who not only tried to kill him but didn't even hesitate to pull the trigger. If he let them go, who knows if at some point these vicious dogs would turn around to bite him and his loved ones?

Besides, although Xie Feng didn't consider himself a vigilante hero, let alone a savior, since he could clean up some human trash, he would gladly do it. After all, it was a matter of a thought to do so, and, casually, his actions aligned with his goal in coming here tonight.

Xie Feng led Yao Mei deeper into the mansion and they encountered several hooligans and even huge dogs that seemed to have been trained for battle. Those who dared to raise their gun and shoot were mercilessly killed by him, the dogs who tried to jump on him and her were also not spared from having their souls harvested by the reaper. Only those who raised their weapons but did not shoot were saved and managed to sigh in relief when they saw their companions fall... Relieved to be able to live another day.

Little by little, there were fewer and fewer hooligans who dared or had the courage to shoot and make rude comments towards the duo of a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They could only watch helplessly, not daring to put up the slightest resistance since they knew that their efforts would be rewarded with a meaningless and dignified death. Although they were hooligans, none of them wanted to die; let alone die in such an absurd manner.

Xie Feng chatted casually with Yao Mei, little by little he was getting to know her better and she was getting to know him more. Yao Mei already felt comfortable enough to ask an occasional question or two about his private life, trying to satiate her curiosity about the man next to her.

If Yao Mei's suitors, her parents, her older brother, or anyone else who knew her well enough saw her at this moment, they might faint from shock. Who would have thought that the usually cold and indifferent Ice Queen Yao Mie was actually as hot as fire trying to know a person of the opposite sex? No one!

Inside the mansion, the atmosphere was heavy and stuffy.

The hooligans acting as bodyguards had already taken up their weapons and barricaded themselves in the living room while facing the door with their guns pointed there. The first moment those huge doors opened none of them would hesitate to pull the trigger and fire when they saw the enemy.

Chi Yong Hong had a fierce look on his face as he tightly held a hand grenade launcher. Even his wife Tong Xiaoyun was holding a small revolver to protect herself.

Everyone could hear the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer, which meant that the enemy was steadily approaching the mansion. Obviously the defenses had not been able to stop them.

In addition, the sound of gunfire was also becoming less violent in comparison. At first, everyone could hear the rattle of several machine guns or light rifles rattling nonstop as if they were fighting an army, however, at the moment they could barely hear an occasional shot or two before everything went deadly quiet again.

"Sir! It's no good! Sir!"

Just when the silent pressure was suffocating them and they felt as if the sickle of the god of death was on their necks waiting for the moment to claim their lives, an agitated yell from outside startled everyone.

Although it was a panicked yell, it was better than the terrifying silence. Many hooligans could not help but breathe a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"Xiao Hu, are you alone!?" Chi Yong Hong shouted, keeping his guard up high. Although Xiao Hu was his right-hand man, at this moment of crisis he could only be careful to protect his life.

"I am alone! The enemy is too strong!" Xiao Hu shouted from the other side of the door.

Chi Yong Hong signaled one of the hooligans and he quickly opened the door.

A cultured-looking man in his 30s rushed in, ignoring the guns pointed in his direction, and shouted in panic, "The enemy is breaking through! Sir, you should leave with the lady quickly!"

Even at what could be the last moment, the man Chi Yong Hong called 'Xiao Hu' was still thinking about the safety of his leaders, showing how trustworthy he really was.

"How many enemies are they? Is it the police?" Chi Yong Hong frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"N-No! It's the devil! A man and a woman, just two! Those two people are the devil incarnate! Bullets can't hit them at all and our brothers just die like flies!" Xiao Hu shouted as if he had gone mad. His eyes were practically red as if they were bloodshot and his usually neat hair was disheveled.
